Unscripted War dynamic grass

[Radnik 18]

one question...ThruYerStErNuM

...is it possible to do something in config (in ...res\bin folder)like to make addon of this, not to open any mission or use trrigers and init lines, just to add some kinda class in config.cpp or config.bin simmilary to tactevents for suchusmc&rni..

i hope i'm not tallking stupid things

when i see this, i can only think "if there will be new version of ECP then it become BOMB" with all these new script additions in last months ;)

of course to author, excelent work, thanks and keep on

Yeah it would be nice, but I'm not sure how to do that... I know it's much faster and more efficient to have the mission maker place the triggers for his specific mission, rather than have a large number of existing triggers pre-programmed in, if it were even possible.

(ok now i'm really drunk, dont know why no one appreciated the humor of the hint in the last comment)

I want to know why no one is giving me decent criticisms!

Russians found lots of problems with this http://www.flashpoint.ru/forum/showthread.php?p=396049#post396049 (do an altavista translation) that I wish I could discuss. I very much prefer suggestions rather than praise, is it that on the official forums the moderators are out-of-their-mind-power-hungry ban-happy spam-hippy meanies? Are people here afraid they or I would not appreciate negativity? I blame canada and europe.

Is it possible to play SP missions and SP campaigns (Cold War Crisis for example ) on BIS island with this beautiful grass ?

I bet the ECP folks could work something out to add it to their set of selectable features. Would you be happy with the ECP mod taking this baby on, Thru, while you crack on with Unscripted War ?

Cheers,

well, this is a great idea, the only problem i had was a lot of lag if i used optics view while looking at grass.

These grass objects behave different in dark compared to trees, bushes. They shines if they illuminated. This could be repaired anyhow?

I've fixed all those issues with the new release, except for graphics related lag. The first post in the thread is now the same as this post.

Version 1.2 released 7/13/05

Download from waskosky.com

Grass is generated around placed locations rather than everywhere now, this solves the issues from before.

Whats new:

New grass colors.

Grass objects are slightly more complex.

Grass can't and shouldn't be 'destroyed' anymore.

AI only sees through taller grass when very close.

Grass objects are set to 'lit' so that they will always look the same.

I am releasing all this now because I am leaving for a little while and this version is very easy and efficient to use for most purposes. But I have been making new textures and want to make better objects for the next release, heres a preview of some grass for the next release:

Very good choice of colours, right density. Another addon made by somebody with heart and brains, must have.

This looks awesome just what OFP lacks.

I hate to seem useless but coulf someone who has installed this write a quick step by step for us who have not added such a mod before.

Have read the readme but am not 100% sure how to do this

Sof ar have only played around adding pbo files, etc.

Good stuff, but it seems to cause CTD if used with ECP. Anyone having the same problem ?

same here, i do what it sais in the readme, but it seams i cant get it to work...

so could anyone that does get it to work write a short "step by step" tutorial?

[mcpxxl 2]

I do not have this Probs.

1.) Made an Mod Folder @Grass and put the Pbo´s into

ADDONS Subfolder.

2.) use it with ....exe -mod=@grass

3.) Use first his demo on Nogova

4.) make a Mission with only one civilist and save it

5.) just copy the content of his demo in it or merge the

files and then just copy the rest of scripts into it.

6.) Don´t use abstract any so far .... :-)

I don´t see any problem.

Otherwise PM me i will send you a demo on another Island

Don't think ThruYerStErNuM added MP support yet but I will soon upload a MP compatible script that uses a tweaked version of djukels original script and that works with this addon!

However there are some things to keep in mind when using dynamic grass in multiplayer. See this thread for more info...

@ThruYerStErNuM: Thanks for a great addon + parsing tools and enjoy your vacation
